Microsoft bans iPhones, BlackBerries from expense claims

Just as chief executive Steve Ballmer boosted Zune market share by banning his kids from owning an iPod, his company has hit on a strategy to increase use of Windows Mobile devices.

From now on, according to Silicon Valley Insider, Microsoft employees will not be able to expense mobile data plans unless they use a cellphone that runs on Windows Mobile software.

That means the Apple iPhone, Palm Pre or any RIM BlackBerry are out, among other models.
